What Drives Photosynthesis During Desiccation - Mosses and Other Outliers

Explore the intricacies of photosynthesis during desiccation in mosses and other unique plant species through this 52-minute webinar presented by Alicia V Perera-Castro from Universitat de les Illes Balears, Spain. Delve into the research findings from the paper "What drives photosynthesis during desiccation: Mosses and other outliers from the photosynthesis–elasticity trade-off," which was accepted by the Journal of Experimental Botany. Gain insights into plant anatomy, trade-offs in photosynthetic processes, bulk accumulation, and the role of relative water content in desiccation tolerance. Examine the relationship between elasticity and desiccation tolerance, and understand how plasticity affects a plant's ability to withstand dry conditions. The webinar, organized by the Society for Experimental Biology, concludes with a summary and an interactive Q&A session, providing a comprehensive overview of this fascinating area of plant physiology.
